Rattle behind glovebox?

Botaine · 09-25-2020, 11:30 AM

About a month ago I started getting a rattle behind my glove box or just to the left of it as best as I can tell. It only happens when there are significant vibrations at wide open throttle. It sounds like maybe wires bumping into each other or off of plastic. Has anyone else had this problem and can help me pinpoint where it's coming from before I start putting foam all over everything?

It could be the cover for the cabin air filter, which is right behind the glove box.

Did you or someone else have that as an issue or were just saying it's something to check on if loose?

I broke off the tab on the door that holds the filter in. I had to tape it to silence it. It wasn't real loud, but I could hear it on occasion.
